Little Lady

We purchased new Adirondack chairs for the family to use in the backyard.  There are two small ones for the kids and two large ones for Mom and Dad.  Both Daniel and Ellen love to have their own chairs just their size.  Here is Ellen enjoying her chair like a little lady.

Marblehead

We headed north for a wedding in the evening and left early so we could visit Marblehead for a few hours.  It was the first trip there for the kids.  They both really enjoyed seeing the large waves, freighters, and lighthouse. 

 We met my parents there (aka Poppy and Nana).

 Aaron's cousin Chris got married, which coincidentally is our anniversary too, in Fremont.

Hannah is an avid horse person and there was a horse-drawn carriage for the newlyweds.

We had a fun day all together and will have to make another trip to the Lake soon.

Happy Birthday #4 for Daniel

We had robot themed parties for Daniel this year.  I found this cake at Betty Crocker's website and decided it would be perfect.  Everyone really liked it, especially the birthday boy.

Sticky Goo

 A surprise birthday package in the mail from our friends Miss Jen and Clark.  He was so excited he ran into Ellen's room after her nap and sang, " I have a package...I have a package!"

 A recipe and ingredients for homemade sticky goo.  A perfect gift for Daniel.

He really likes it!
